FREIA - Centre for Gender Research

FREIA was a gender research centre at Aalborg University, Denmark (1991-2022). We are currently reorganizing and will be back soon in a new format!

As of today, the Center for Gender Research (FREIA) at AAU ceases to exist. The Center was founded more than 30 years ago by some of the pioneers of gender research in Denmark 🧵1/6
